The REACH Institute (REsource for Advancing Children's Health), under the directorship of Peter S. Jensen, M.D., has partnered with leading researchers and practitioners to develop an innovative Mini-Fellowship to help your practice achieve confidence in delivering pediatric behavioral healthcare. This activity is being designed to accommodate providers who are treating a lower-income child population.
